PRINCIPLES OF PLAY

 

Mobility

 

Definition

This is to do with the movement of a performer/player a group/unit within a team or the team as a whole.

 

Impact on Performance

In basketball, good mobility is required when moving on and off the ball in attack. It is the ability to change direction at pace and move into space. An attack that is static is easy to defend, therefore players on and off the ball need to constantly be moving and changing direction to get free from the defenders, create space, offer support options and penetrate spaces in the defence.  In dance, mobility of the individual or group is how they move and interact in relation to the area and/or each other. This is dictated by the choreography, rhythm, tempo and style of dance
